French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Leviathan.007]

Assuming Haaland left Manchester City, his great destination would have been Real Madrid. PSG is a team with too many controversies. The big stars also gradually left PSG.
Coming to Ligue 1, there was little competition, and PSG was destined to become king. Please look back at the careers of Neymar and Mbappé when they arrived at PSG. It decreases over time. Suppose Mbappé continues to bury his youth with the PSG club. Then, his career will decline. PSG has nothing but abundant financial resources. Let's see if PSG are making any players stand out or ruining their careers.

It is very true that Realmadrid would had been a very good destination for Haaland if he decides to leave Manchester City but theirs still a possibility that he would had as well ended up at PSG given that they're very financially capable of getting him into their team, we've seen in recent times that clubs that are financially strong easily attracts top players into their Club, PSG is not a small club and would offer him the opportunity in the Champions League as Realmadrid would also, moreover before the likes of Neymar and Messi moved over there they're several other top stars like  Ibrahimovic and Cavani that's succeeded in the club, I feel Messi and Neymar didn't leave up to expectations that's they had to leave and more Neymar's was due to his numerous injuries, I don't see PSG as a club that ruin players career, because over there a player is sure of winning the league trophy and standing out is based on a players individual performance and not the club's fault.

Could you take a look back at the PSG club last season? They have three top stars, but Bayern Munich knocked them out of the Champions League. I will blame everything on PSG leaders and coach Christophe Galtier because he couldn't resolve the conflict in the team's locker room. In addition, PSG fans shouted and protested at Messi and Neymar's house. There will no longer be players dedicated to contributing to the team. Up to now, Mbappé also wants to leave to save his career. PSG's leadership is so bad that they deliberately pressured Mbappé to renew his contract. They acted unfairly in football.

I think PSG doesn't have good behavior with the palyer they have and don't respect palyer sometimes.
For example, recently PSG announced the list of the players for the Champions League and removed Marco Verratti's name from the list.
This definitely shows us PSG wants him to leave and it seems this palyer doesn't have any other option.

Blame on PSG management for failure in last season and before this is 100% correct because they are spending huge funds but never try to understand soccer chemistry which is more important than these investments for having winning combination like we have in Manchester City and few other clubs right now they have good chance for the better results in future because coach and new players can create good combination which could be helpful for them.

Understanding chemistry owned by the club was galtier's responsibility. The management signed him as a coach to manage its team. It is very wrong if we are blaming the management. The people shall blame galtier for his incompetence in managing the club once messi was still there.
Management didn't even need to hire a coach if it's still having responsibility to build the chemistry in the club. It's coach's job. The management was picking the wrong choice to hire galtier as a coach and this is management's fault.

But, now here again we need good decisions from the management can they do things which help this club for the better success and performance in coming years right now in this season we have no chance for them to lift the Champions League trophy, but this is possible in coming years patience and consistency is key for the success.

PSG is still lack of chemistry at this moment. I am just aware if the new players need a longer time to adapt to the club. The player like goncalo ramos was not significantly contributing to the club.

PSG is also having kolo muani and dembele which are good players. The club needs to focus on its long-term project.

FFP is not even applicable to PSG.

It's not all about respect but PSG want to get money from a successful transfer of Veratti. He can not be their main midfielder but he is a great midfielder and can be useful for them as a substitution but PSG does not want it. They want money and with recent growth of Saudi Professional League, PSG hope that some clubs from Saudi Arabia will see PSG selling list and will knock their doors to buy Veratti.

In finance, it is understandable as PSG will try to sell players and improve their finance record like Chelsea did in this summer.

Lyon coach, Laurent Blanc, is now increasingly on the edge and he is likely to be fired soon after a series of poor results obtained during the start of this season. This is reinforced by the figure of a new coach candidate who will replace him, namely the former Chelsea coach, Graham Potter. But shortly after receiving an offer to handle Lyon, Graham Potter actually refused on the grounds that he still wanted to evaluate his performance after leaving Chelsea. Graham Potter is Lyon's top target as a replacement for Laurent Blanc and thus it is likely that Lyon will look for other coaching candidates to replace Laurent Blanc.

I do really support to sack him as soon as possible. Lyon performed even badly, with only 1 point achieved by him since the first week. Lens was also in the same path of lyon. These clubs need to identity which thing that was wrong from the club.
I meant there was a still a possibility for lyon to go up again. In fact, everything is still remain unchanged if blanc will still stay at the club. Lyon needs to sack him as soon as possible and try to gather a good coach to handle the club.
It's not too late to do that rather than losing more points. Everything will be even more difficult if blanc will not be sacked as soon as possible. I hope that lyon will try to find a new coach asap.
The club shall have learned from what leverkusen did last season. Sacked the old coach to bring a good coach that can change everything.

Of course Lyon is currently making plans so that their target can be achieved, but before firing Laurent Blanc they have to find a replacement first. I think this international break will also give Lyon enough time to determine Lyon's next coach. We know that a team like Lyon should not be at the bottom of the standings and this season is the worst for them in the Ligue 1 competition. Even though Lyon can always produce good results at the start of the season, it is quite strange to see that they are now not at the top of the table with other teams. other strong. Apart from all that, even though this seems rushed, Lyon must choose a good coach who has more experience so that the same result doesn't happen again.

"The transfer window in Saudi Arabia is open from Jul 1, 2023 to Sep 7, 2023."

I doubt that this transfer is still going to happen this summer. Initially, the Saudi Professional League was planning to keep the transfer window open until September 21st I think, but they have then changed it to September 7th, which makes a transfer of Verratti to the SPL impossible for now. But if Verratti doesn't play much and he wants to leave PSG, maybe in the upcoming winter there is also a chance for him to leave the club and go to Saudi Arabia.

From what we've seen so far at Paris Saint Germaine, players like Marco Verrati is surplus to requirements hence the reason for the club to have done everything within their reach to force his move to the Saudi Arabian League.
Now that the transfer window in the Saudi League is closed the player who I don't think falls in the second choice of midfield players at the club will have s
to spend most of the entire season in the bench. If there's chances of a loan move away from PSG, I think it'll be a better option for the Italian to go to another club where he'll get more playing time before January transfer window where he can leave the club on permanent basis.

Feeling as the party in power will allow the club owner to do this, but it is not impossible because of other judgments, because the club will have enough players so they will choose whoever the coach thinks is suitable to be in the squad and who is not considered suitable. It could be because the player is not in a good condition, it could also be because of a lack of harmony with the coach and other reasons.
And Verrati has been on the list of players for sale for a long time and has been in demand by a club from the Saudi Pro league, so of course PSG doesn't feel the need to include him in the list of players in the champions league, and I think it's just a matter of time until an agreement is reached for him. will go play in the SPL.
However, PSG is recorded as a club that treats its players quite badly if they don't like them, the club owner and fans have the same attitude.

If speaking of coaches, isn't Laurent Blanc successful enough last season to lift Lyon's performance, I think their mistake at the start of this season was not the coach but their players who were not qualified and not many changes had occurred in this team and that was far different from other teams. continues to grow so that this makes it increasingly difficult for Lyon to compete.
What happened at the start of this season was quite unfortunate indeed for Lyon and the management of this team must be able to quickly make changes before they fall further behind.

I remember a few years ago, Lyon was the strongest team in France and they were fighting for first place in the table while PSG didn't have this huge amount of investment in the team to buy superstar players.
But unfortunately time after time Lyon is getting weaker and now we can see Lyon is at the bottom of the table while they also didn't get good results in the game we saw from them so far.

They don't have much time to think about whether it's the coach or the players who are in trouble, all they have to think about now is how they make a difference with the squad they currently have. Maybe if in 3 or 5 matches they remain like this, then their coach will be the first to be blamed for the poor performance they are experiencing. Even if you say that their coach was good last season, but that was last season and it's different from this season. Like it or not, and inevitably they will make someone to be the scapegoat to blame, and the first person we all know is a coach.

It seems that not only Lyon but there is Lens also very bad at this moment, because Lens and Lyon both have no winning results so far this season. Also, if I consider from their position at the end of last season, then it is at least quite reasonable if Lyon becomes worse this season. But about Lens, obviously at this moment Lens is experiencing a very big fall. Because yes, how can Lens still not get a win so far this season, when in fact last season Lens managed to finish in second place.

Last season Laurent Blanc was replace Peter Bosz position as the new manager of Lyon this because last season Lyon had experience poor start and indeed Laurent Blanc has successfully to lifted up Lyon performance and at the end of season he can able to bringing Lyon finish at 10th place so this is good achievement indeed because Lyon condition at that time is not really good but this season it just happens again that Lyon was no victory in the last 4 matches

This is difficult situations for Lyon because their position currently at the bottom of standings league and i believe Lyon management has been thinking about this so they want Laurent Blanc immediately to solved this problem and if in the next several matches Lyon lost again most likely Laurent Blanc will be sacked and the rumour is currently Lyon was look for the replacement of Laurent Blanc and they have been thinking to hire Graham Potter

I was also a little surprised to see two teams that used to be good in Ligue1 at the bottom of the standings after four games at the start of this season. Lens and Lyon both have one point after four games this season which I never even thought about because last season these two teams were not as bad as they are now, so what happened at the start of this season to both teams is very surprising for me because actually the current position is not a suitable position for both of them.

Because yes, how can Lens still not get a win so far this season, when in fact last season Lens managed to finish in second place.

Yes you're right, Lens are also one of the clubs that have suffered a very drastic decline this season, and I also agree that their decline is worse than what Lyon have experienced.
Their defense is one of my highlights, last season they conceded 29 of the 38 games they played. This season they've conceded 10 times in the 4 games they've played, if we average it out, then it's worse.
They must improve quickly, especially since they will be playing in the Champions League.

I was also a little surprised to see two teams that used to be good in Ligue1 at the bottom of the standings after four games at the start of this season. Lens and Lyon both have one point after four games this season which I never even thought about because last season these two teams were not as bad as they are now, so what happened at the start of this season to both teams is very surprising for me because actually the current position is not a suitable position for both of them.

If we look at their status as one of the considered clubs in Ligue 1, then it is true that their current position is not suitable. But when you look at their performances in the matches they have played, then this is a position that suits them in my opinion. That's because they were only able to win 1 point with a performance that was not at their best so it threw them into the position they are in now.

Lens, was unable to maintain its existence at the start of this season. Despite the fact that Lens are also active in bringing in new arrivals in this summer's transfer window, Franck Haise has not been able to revive his squad like last season. The departure of Seko Fotana to the Saudi Club, and also Lois Openda to RB Leipzig, seems to have had a big impact on this team's squad. which in the end, in his 4 matches at the start of this season Lens was unable to win even his victory. As a result, they are currently ranked bottom above Lyon.

While Lyon, the squad currently being architected by Laurent Blanc, is not much different from that of the Lens squad. from their 4 matches, they lost and even conceded 10 goals. These two teams are both at the bottom of the standings. referring to several newspapers that I read, Lyon management offered Potter to become the new coach for the Lyon squad. but reportedly, Potter refused. Whether the rumor is true or not, the point is that it will not immediately bring this team to its best performance. my guess is, Lens will have a bad season especially when they will play their match in the Champions League. Likewise with Lyon, I'm not sure they will be able to quickly recover from their downturn.

Those clubs were performing so badly this season. They were starting the league with a loose streak which is very bad. I never predict that if lens and lyon would be performing that badly this season. I wonder what kind of decisions will be taken by the director of club.
Lens and Lyon can't keep getting another loss again. This will be affecting confidence level of the club to play until the end of season. There must be solutions to be taken by both of clubs. One possibility that could be considered is to terminate the current coach and hire new coaches to replace them.

Lens and lyon have been placed at the bottom table now. It's very difficult to go up as the gap was very big. I doubt if lens will go up again.
The club needs also to put its focus on UCL as well. This is a very hard time looking for lens. The more losses faced by lens will make the club have zero chance to compete for UCL next season.

The Lens team is performing quite well in League One. I think if PSG were not in League One, Lens would be in a good position and have a good chance of securing the title.

Almost the same fate with Sevilla, Lens and Sevilla coincidentally joined in group B in the UCL. Both of them are currently experiencing difficult conditions, automatically Arsenal and PSV are very profitable in the group phase. Sure enough, the decline of Sevilla and Lens is inversely proportional to their performance last season, it's hard to accept facts like this.

I think it's natural that many people place Arsenal and PSV as favorites in Group B, one of the factors is that in the Domestic League both of them are not promising at all.

If speaking of coaches, isn't Laurent Blanc successful enough last season to lift Lyon's performance, I think their mistake at the start of this season was not the coach but their players who were not qualified and not many changes had occurred in this team and that was far different from other teams. continues to grow so that this makes it increasingly difficult for Lyon to compete.
What happened at the start of this season was quite unfortunate indeed for Lyon and the management of this team must be able to quickly make changes before they fall further behind.

It could be either, we do not really know the main reason. There have been teams like for example Napoli who became champions after more than 3 decades and still fired their manager as well, it is not really unheard of that one team could get better one season and then not get better or still not like the manager.

I believe that we are going to end up with something that would be different on the long run and I think it should be important for them to keep it going. I believe that we are not going to end up with a good result, it should be important to make some profit for us as well. The majority of the situation arises from the fact that teams are not properly managed, by the owners and management I mean, not the manager.
